Cahill insists transfer talk will not affect Bolton form

Gary Cahill admits being English may well have counted against him in the transfer market – but insists he won’t allow it to affect his form for Bolton.

Trotters star Cahill missed out on a move to Arsenal or Tottenham when neither club could agree on a fee in transfer deadline week – with Bolton wanting £17m for a player who is in the last year of his current contract.

"There is nothing you can do about that,” admitted Cahill. “I think that is why sometimes people go abroad. But you are only worth what people pay for you. Any club has the right to get as high a fee as they can for a player, it is up to the other club whether they pay it

"I don't really know too much about what went on. The clubs speak amongst themselves - there is not really any right to let you know to be fair. So I just let them carry on. It was strange but the main thing is my head is in the right place and I'm enjoying my football."
